Opinion: Neither alternative facts nor alternative electors are going to stop Joe Biden from becoming president

CNN  

Editor’s Note: Robert Alexander is a professor of political science and founding director of the Institute for Civics and Public Policy at Ohio Northern University. For Trump, January 6 represents a last stand to overturn the election results when Congress gathers in a joint session to count the Electoral College votes. Although Biden defeated Donald Trump by more than 7 million votes across the country, Biden’s victory in the Electoral College hinged on a relatively small number of votes in a few key states. After it became clear that Biden was going to win the Electoral College, talk turned to the prospect of faithless electors flipping the election in Trump’s favor. On Monday morning, a “Hail Mary” was announced by White House adviser Stephen Miller: “As we speak, today, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote and we’re going to send those results up to Congress.” Indeed, bizarro GOP electors in Arizona, Georgia Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Nevada did cast “votes” for Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
